Details here fysh

You have to comment on the post on Facebook. Then I assume they'll announce the winner two days before the end date and they won't have commented on the post anyway. 

Usual farce

Thanks JayEss.

So they are allowing members and NON MEMBERS to enter a comp worth £10K but not allowing MEMBERS to enter unless they join Facebook. Well thanks CC.

I encourage others to write to the club expressing their disgust if (like me) they think this stinks.

As I use the CL network and club sites in winter and I do not wish to cut off my nose to spite my face, the only thing I can do to protest is move my insurance business and ferry bookings to the C&CC.

I'm too much of a cynic to believe it's genuinely a competition anyway. Watch out for the new Meeks Wink

Is it only possible to enter on Facebook JayEss?

If so then this is getting serious and I will be writing to the club.

Hi Fysherman, JayEss,

The magazine is also running a competition for the same New Zealand tour. If you're not on Facebook, and still want to be involved you can apply to this one, details >> here <<

Yes quite a big expectation required from contestants including social media links etc.

 

Hi Brue,

Just to be clear, the link you have provided is for the Magazine's competition. We are running another competition for another space on the same tour on Facebook, to enter this one you need only comment on the post with #NZWishYouWereHere

Thanks Rochelle but I'll not be entering. Getting that amount of time off for this October is impossible and I don't fancy getting involved in the publicity

Hi Rochelle

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I am happy with that. I hope the club realises that a level playing field is what many members are concerned about.

If someone wants to be on Facebook then that's their business but those who choose not to be should never be disadvantaged.

I assume there is no chance someone could enter via Facebook and again via the Magazine? That would clearly give the Facebook user a considerable advantage. Could you confirm please?

As for Facebook you either you use it or you don't. On here those that do have had an advance chance at a comp (maybe the app people had the same chance.) All others will be hearing about it via the mag ....maybe another chance at a comp to fill the next pages? It will be interesting to see how it goes after that. I presume putting holiday snaps on will be easier than here?! Tongue Out

I've taken advantage of the WOW offer. Good deal there. 

I can't see me sticking with the FB page long though as I use FB to keep in touch with friends and relatives rather than follow businesses. 

Replies to messages via Facebook are like hens teeth so far for me at least. The good thing is you can tell they've been read
